I’m looking for some information on an antique piece of fire apparatus. It appears to be a horse drawn unit, with wood wheels, but has a 2 cylinder gas engine on the front that runs a Hale direct drive pump. The inlet to the pump is plumbed with 2 1/2 “ water ways that runs to the rear of the unit and looks to be set-up to draft. The ouitlet side of the pump has 2 ½ value on each side of the pump and there are holders for a hard succion on both side of the apparatus. The only markings that I can find are H.F.P Co A1 on the intake castings. The carriage is about 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. If you can provide any information on the origin of this piece or point be to a picture, etc. I’d be very appreciative.

I'm a Firefighter In the UK and was trying to track down a vintage cab forward right hand drive Fire Engine if possible.

An early firemans tool was recently purchased and I am seeking information on the name and value of tool. It is a firemans pole 6 feet long with 2 iron hooks set 180 degrees to each other-obviously for removing shingles, siding, etc. They are attached to the pole with an iron collar and hand rivets. I would speculate the iron is hand forged. The one hook has a stamping on it - 'JGB Staatsburgh'. I believe NY follows Staatsburgh. It is well used and charred at the end of the pole where the hooks are attached. Speculation from construction is that this pole is early 1900's.

I have seen your nice website, and it seems you are in contact with a lot of buffs around the states.

I am a fire buff from Copenhagen, Denmark and I am trying to find the ex-FDNY Super Pumper. I have located the tender, but I can't get in touch with anyone one knows about the pumper. It should be parked at Mr. Jimmie Dobson's moving company yard in Bay City, Michigan. The caretaker of the vehicle should be Mr. Mike Adams of Burt, Michigan.

I would like to get in contact with someone around the Super Pumper, and hope to find some nice pictures of the pumper in its present condition.

Can you help me or can you redirect my mail to someone who can. In anticipation - Regards - Jakob Kristensen, Denmark E-Mail: alfa-kilo@mail.dk 3018t 11.07.03

I would greatly appreciate your assistance retrieving my chrome plated parts. Recently I had to face a very tragic reality with a local chrome plating company. During the course of several years, I had numerous parts from my 1941 Autocar, X-Philadelphia pumper chrome plated at B & B Metal Finishing and Polishing in York, PA. Although a struggle at times to have parts delivered on time, they did a good job with quality and are reasonably priced. They were down to the last parts when I called to ask when the balance of my parts would be finished. I was informed it would be 2 weeks until completion. They informed me many times that my parts would be completed in a 2 week time, only to wait months for the parts. I drove to York about a month after this call to pick up the parts. When I arrived and asked for my parts, they informed me they sold my parts to some local fire truck collectors without my permission. They would not divulge the names of these collectors, although I know of 2 local collectors and restorers that used this company.

I'm trying to locate these parts and fulfill my dream of watching this beautiful unique fire truck restored. Some of the parts sold included both front bumper bars, pump gauge bleeder valve knobs, 6 small acorn nuts and valve handles, pump transfer lever and street and drivers side pump panels for a Hale pump, round metal saucer for top of booster reel basket and 6 large acorn nuts, and 2- fire extinguisher holders that look like tall coffee cans. Some of the parts were hand made for this truck by the Autocar Truck Co. and cannot be replaced.I plead with you, if you bought my parts during January 2002 through December 2002 from B and B Metal Finishing and Polishing or owner Jim Glatfelter or his partner, please call me at 717-528-4524 or email kb1951@pa.net Thank you 3005t 01.07.03

Information Needed: We have an Antique Auction House here in Connecticut and have come across a complete 1929 (or maybe 28) REO Speedwagon Fire Truck. (Truck has many accessories, body is in very good condition and engine is complete) The problem is that the truck has some how made its way across the ocean to England. It has been inside a warehouse for the last 20yrs. We make frequent trips overseas and are undecided as to whether the truck is valuable enough to add to one of our contianers of Antiques. Are there enough collectors for a piece like this and if so in what ballpark are we speaking? (for instance hundreds, thousands? or 10's of thousands) I am not looking for a exact value just a rough idea so we can make an educated decision as to whether is worth bringing in for our upcoming Vintage Tranportation Auction.

1916 American LaFrance Type 12 equipped with a Pederson Oiling System has me stumped. The three site glasses on the dash have screw adjustments to regulate the delivery of the oil to the distribution lines. But what is the correct or appropriate rate of delivery of oil at an idle? I'm certain that I am delivering it faster than necessary now and this causes the rig to burn oil like crazy shortly after it is drained off at the petcocks. At present the "drops" are more like long "squirts".
